Question

"Time-release" drugs have the advantage of releasing the drug to the body at a constant rate so that the drug concentration at any time is not too high as to have harmful side effects or too low as to be ineffective. A schematic diagram of a pill that works on this basis is shown. Explain how it works. Figure can't copy

figure-560-shows-the-rate-of-change-in-the-average-plasma-concentration-of-the-drug-omeprazole-in-ng

Figure 5.60 shows the rate of change in the average plasma concentration of the drug Omeprazole (in ng/ml per hour) for six hours after the first dose is administered using two different capsules: immediate-release and delayed-release. $^{9}$ (a) Which graph corresponds to which capsule? (b) Do the two capsules provide the same maximum concentration? If not, which provides the larger maximum concentration?
